...These shows will be very special "Evening with Dream Theater" shows. In both cases, the 2nd sets of the 2nd nights (Oct 11th and Oct 25th) will be a classic album covered in its entirety.
Me thinks big things :shock:
But Finland's Evening With Dream Theater is Sept 27th, maybe they'll play Octavarium :?

That could suck :/Frenchy said:same here
really great :banana:
but imagine when they played the number entirely at Paris, I saw them 6 times and it's the only time that i didn't go to see them
but imagine: I'm going to see 'em at fall, and I only got 4CD's from 'em :|
And if they don't play Octavarium as a second set it could be painful if tey played Falling Into Infinity or Awake... but I have some time to buy CD's

Nuggets in Octavarium?
The numbers 8, 5 and 3 are intregal to the jigsaw of OV.
Oct = 8
Octavarium = 5 syllables, 5 vowels, 5 consonants (from he-wolf)
5 birds on cover
8 balls on cover
8 Bell Chimes at the beginning of TALW
5 members in Dream Theater.
3 members have left the band.
3 original band members (from Vidvandre)
5 + 3 = 8.
8 x 3 = 24.
If you add the numbers of the total album length ( 75:48 ) it is:
7+5+4+8=24: the length of Octavarium
8 white keys on back cover
5 black keys on back cover
8 ball on pool table
5 birds on cover + 3 birds with dominoes = 8 birds
8 corners of maze (it being an octagon)
8 exits in maze
5 fish
8 corners on Octagon
5 corners on star
8 songs (split into 3 groups)
8th song has 5 parts
Closest dominoe to the front has 3 and 2 (which equals 5)
Furthest dominoe has 5 and 3 (which equals 8 )
Spider = 8 legs
OCTopus = 8 legs
Stop sign = 8 corners
Octavarium = 8th studio album.
5 = the amount of offical live releases.
At the end of PA, it echoes 8 times.
The heartbeat from TW and IWBY is going at 58bmp
Octagon on actual CD
Boy from front to back - talking to self - full circle
Piano chord from ITNOG at beginning of TROAE
The beginning of TROAE at the end of OV (full circle)
Octavarium was released 200*5*
5 images on 8 page booklet (?)
'85 = the year Dream Theater was formed
Lyrics/music from TDS appear in TROAE
Each song is in the minor key of its note on the keyboard on the back cover
Each corner of the Octagon goes 1:8, 2:8, 3:8, 4:8, 5:8, 6:8, 7:8, 8:8 just like the time signature to each song
At the end of TROAE = piano theme for Octavarium
During TALW 2:42-2:48 = 8V Vocal Melody
During TALW 2:36 = violin plays central theme to Octavarium
It is impossible to win the spider maze (unless it, ahem, tears down those walls)
"Octave" in music is the same not ename but either half or twice the original frequency. The reason a piano keyboard was put on there was because scales use 8 tones to make an octave
(from Shiznitz)
ALL THE REFERENCES:
At the beginning of NE - Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together In a Cave and Grooving With a Pict (Pink Floyd)
On OV at 9:00, during the bass groove arpegio plays the melody of Anna Lee's vocal melody
00:00 - 03:48 - Floyd's "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" meets Tangerine Dream
03:49 - Spock's Beard theme?
04:33 - Änglagård flute “Godfather” theme similarities
12:15 - Marillion keyboards with Wakeman flourishes
17:47 - Jordan’s Jingle Bells
17:55 - Spock's Beard/Neal Morse acoustic guitar break.
18:42 - Mustaine vocals with "Forgotten Sons" prayer feel
19:55 - “Godfather” theme reprise
Bohemian Rhapsody (Queen)
Sailing on the seven seas - OMD
Seven Seas Of Rye (Queen)

Home Again – "Breathe" reprise on Dark Side Of The Moon
Mike saying, "isn't this where we came in?" - a refernece to The Wall (14:00)
"this story ends where it begins", end lyric of OV: an octave technically ends on the same note it began with.
In "Intervals", every song in Octavarium is summed up
(ROOT) Our deadly sins feel his mortal wrath / Remove all obstacles from our paths --- summary of The Root Of All Evil, the first track...in the key of F...the root or first of the scale
(SECOND) Asking questions, search for clues / The answer's been right in front of you -- summary of The Answer Lies Within, the second track...in the key of G...the second of the scale
(THIRD) We try to break through, long to connect / We fall on death ears with failed muted breath -- summary of These Walls, the third track...in the key of A...the third of the scale
(FOURTH) Loyalty, trust, faith in desire / Carries love through each darkest fire -- summary of I Walk Beside You, the fourth track...the fourth of the scale
(FIFTH) Tortured insanity, smothering hell / Try to escape but to no avail -- summary of Panic Attack, the fifth track...the fifth of the scale
(SIXTH) They call them admirers, claim they adore / Drain all your life blood but begging for more -- summary of Never Enough, the sixth track...the sixth of the scale
(SEVENTH) Innocent phantoms for merciless crimes / I'll pray to some madness for repulsive designs -- summary of Sacrificed Sons, the seventh track...the seventh of the scale
(OCTAVE) Step out of step and try controlling my fate / When you finally start living it's become to late -- summary of Octavarium, the eighth track...the octave of the scale
